Crime and Punishment

Author:Dostoevsky

Publication:1866

Crime and Punishment was a long but extraordinary read, the first 100 pages were narrated as best as possible advancing more and more suddenly and quickly, Ekatierina's death, Raskolhnikov's confession, Sonya's reading of Lazarus' resurrection and the murder of Lizaveta and old Aliona all went on a roller coaster of emotions and drama.

Raskolhnikov's psychological description was perfect, his theories of the extraordinary man and the permissible crime are really things to think about, in my opinion, the moment it dawned on him that he wouldn't be this extraordinary man was when he killed Lizaveta, who was a totally innocent and good person, not Aliona, Sonya's unconditional support even though he murdered one of her friends is also a beautiful thing to behold, and it changed him spiritually in a unique way, I believe Raskolhnikov was a good person deep down , but naive and who got carried away by his bad illness, economic situation and theories he formulated because of them, but anyway what he did was unforgivable, especially with Lizavieta.

The biggest victim without a doubt in this story was Pulkhiéria, she had to suffer desperately because of her son, dying tragically without her wish being granted which was to see her son again, everything she went through, since the death of her son. husband, the accusation of adultery against her daughter, her son's illness and near indifference to her, it was all tragic.

The end of the book is one of hope and a second chance for Raskolhnikov to redeem himself and for Sonya to support him, in which they will both go on together unconditionally ending their sentence and one day returning to society repenting of their sins and truly happy with each other.
This book is fantastic.
